Hey there, Sorry for the delay getting back to you - the original project used platformio, but I've since ported everything to esp-idf. Platformio itself seems to trail behind the latest versions of the build frameworks and it was difficult to update anything using it. Try tag v2.1, and install esp-idf 5.4. Go to the 'idf' directory and build from there (idf.py build), please let me know if that works for you.

Hi there!! Thanks so very much for the reply! It’s appreciated and I think thats the route (only decided 20 mins ago) to take. I’ve tried everything I can think of and can’t get the legacy version to build, just the Sd loader part to be honest. I’ll Chuck the Atmega 1284 in my parts bin lol. I’ll let you know how I get in with the esp-idf build :) Again, thanks for the response it means a lot. Cheers (from the U.K. )

Hello again,

The ESP32 Module arrived, and after adding a fake githash.h (it wasn't present couldn't be found) the firmware complied fine :)
It flashed across to the device at lightening speed, I then built the hardware... Works perfectly!
Again thanks for getting back to me and the work you put into getting this working, Im loving it :)
